Just wondering, was this changed in the updates? I remember before it was insanely easy to get a free apartment by threatening the landlord, but now it always fails.

Im sure the liberal you're threatening with just isn't qualified enough yet.

I'l try juicing them up more and see what happens. Although Revolutionary status with an AR-15 should have been enough to get the apartment...

I don't think it has anything to do with juice or what weapon you're using, I think you just need to have high skill with whatever weapon you're using.

I always thought it included a Persuasion roll. Code dive time!

Edit: Yup, it's Persuasion-based. Just make sure you've been in the news and not 100% stealth beforehand, or it makes it nigh-impossible.

Code: [Select]

         int roll       = a.skill_roll(SKILL_PERSUASION);
         int difficulty = DIFFICULTY_FORMIDABLE;
         
         if(newscherrybusted == false)
            difficulty += 6;
         if(armed_liberal == NULL)
            difficulty += 6;

         if(roll < difficulty - 1)
               fail and he tells you to go

         if(roll < difficulty)
               you get it for a day, he calls the cops, you get raided next day and are no longer renting

         if(roll >= difficulty)
               you get it free

Thanks, that explains it nicely. There's a chance to be raided by the cops the next day? I've never heard of that before.

Yup, you have to just fail the check, and you'll get the apartment but he calls the cops and they show up to raid the next day or so. I've had it happen at least once or twice.

Does failing the check give you a message or is it exactly the same as getting the apartment normally?

You won't know if he calls the cops unless you have a police sleeper, it appears you're getting it normally ("Geez, just take it!" or whatever). To be careful, just wait a day or two before moving stuff into it.
